Cosmic rays with E > eV (UHECR) are observed.  Source (AGN, GRB)?  Acceleration mechanism? Neutrinos can be generated when UHECR interact with photon or matter  CMB photon  GZK cutoff in CR spectrum  Cosmogenic neutrinos! 2 Astrophysical: Cosmogenic: from UHECR F. Halzen and S. Klein, Physics Today 2008 ~E -2.8 Charged pion decay GZK cutoff at ~5×10 19 eV

Being electrically neutral and weakly interacting, UHECNs carry information from their sources  Energy spectrum ▪ CR composition, source distribution, max acceleration energy  Flavor ratio: relative flux between ν e : ν μ : ν τ ▪ Source size & B-field strength  ratio transition with E ν (1:2:0  0:1:0) 3 Kotera et al., JCAP (2010); S. Hümmer et al., Astropar. Phys (2010). decay v.s. synchrotron cooling

UHECN is an unique probe with  Extremely high energy (>10 17 eV) pc  Extremely long baseline (>10 Mpc) Flavor ratio at Earth is determined by :  Flavor ratio at source  Flavor transition in propagation  Neutrino oscillation  Non-standard physics? 4 J.

υ e has higher detection efficiency due to electron energy loss ν τ distribution is the most different τ decay & ν τ regeneration (ν τ  τ  ν τ ). υ e and υ μ have similar shapes, extra constraint is required  υ μ -ν τ symmetry is assumed (i.e. they are of equal ratio). Initial ratio 1:1:1  detected ratio 0.59:0.15: By fitting event angular distribution, UHECN flavor ratio can be extracted red:ν e green:ν μ blue:ν τ Assuming initial ratio of 1:1:1 Comparison of curve shape

Due to random sampling, sometimes fitting gives unphysical f e  fail Generate ensemble of data sets to get the success probability depend on number of events N obs and angular resolution Δθ With Δθ =6 ° and N obs = 200, the success probability is about 85%, 60%, and 50%, respectively 14 ~50% ~60% Δθ =0° (red), 2° (green), 4° (blue), 6° (black) Pseudo- experiment data ~85% Standard 1:1:1 (f e =1/3) Decay with NH 6:1:1 (f e =0.75) ~50% Decay with IH 0:1:1 (f e =0) ~60%

Spread of extracted f e from expected one depend on number of events N obs and angular resolution Δθ With Δθ =6 ° and N obs = 200, the resolution (~68%CL) is about 0.3, 0.4, and 0.15, respectively 15 ~0.15 ~0.3 Δθ =0° (red), 2° (green), 4° (blue), 6° (black) ~0.4 Standard 1:1:1 (f e =1/3) Decay with NH 6:1:1 (f e =0.75) Decay with IH 0:1:1 (f e =0) Preliminary constraint on neutrino decay can be set.

Measuring UHECN flavor ratio is important in both astrophysics and particle physics By fitting the direction distribution of neutrino events, a preliminary constraint on its flavor ratio can be set for the planned ARA37 configuration. Additional information (e.g. event topology, Cherenkov pulse characteristics) can be exploited to improve the resolution.  Identification of ν e CC events.  Discrimination between electromagnetic and hadronic showers 16 J.
